The west coast of Norway is a mountaineer's paradise, a
virtually unbroken chain of hills and mountains stretch
along the full length of the country. Although many areas, partcularly
those in the north are very remote by european standards, the fjord ranges in
the south are easily accessible from either Bergen or Oslo.
